We pride ourselves on having the expertise to deliver unique treatments and our certified clinicians are onsite 6 days a week. Endermologie is based on a technique founded in the mid-1980s by Louis Paul Guitay in Valence, France. Mr. Guitay invented a method to help rehabilitate damaged muscle tissue and standardize physical therapy by providing precisely calibrated and consistent massage treatments. Over time, patients noticed an interesting side effect: an improvement in the dimpled appearance of the skin. Endermologie is the world’s first patented technology to assist in the reduction of cellulite and free localized fat that is trapped below the skin. In the U.S., Endermologie has received the only FDA clearance to be marketed as a cellulite treatment. Endermologie is a non-surgical procedure, with a massage type feel, that stimulates the breakdown of fat and cellulite. A technician uses a machine to apply gentle pressure and suction to your skin. Sessions last between 35 – 40 minutes and are conducted once or twice per week until the client has reached a point of satisfaction (about 16-20 treatments). Thereafter, monthly treatments are required to maintain results. Benefits of Endermologie include: Reduces the appearance of cellulite Reduces circumference of your problem body areas Reshapes buttocks, thighs and abdomen Increases blood circulation Helps with muscle recovery after a workout Relieves minor muscle and joint pain Reduces pain caused from Fibromyalgia Breaks down the formation of scar tissue Helps reduce edema
